And a couple of other tp-link 8 port switches, I'm not currently using (loaned out because I upgraded)
I haven't had one I couldn't get working but most are pretty simple unmanaged switches.
But I have read of people having issues with greens switches. I know at least one of the tp-link's i've used was green and worked.
Seems to be a bit hit/miss.

Thanks, my TP-Link also works, but sometimes stops mysteriously on different ports, and when it happens on the router port the satellites satellite users and wired users are disconnected. It happens about every few days. I found a workaround - just switch the cables around (so the switch sees different mac addresses) and restart the switch - but again it is only a short term fix.
I really need one that will work reliably - preferably 16 gigabit ports, could get by with 8
